158: First Battle with the Zerg Queen

The invisible mental tsunami swept over, not a pure force impact, but rather a terrifying pollution capable of distorting the mind and disintegrating the will.

Countless fragmented, despair-filled, and maddened whispers directly poured into Lin Feng's mind, attempting to drag him into an eternal abyss of darkness.

He grunted, and deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the tiny figure condensed from countless runic patterns of rules suddenly erupted with brilliant starlight!

The starlight, like a sharp sword, instantly severed the invading mental tendrils, forcefully repelling the pollution, but his face also paled instantly.

"Hiss—!"

The Alien Queen let out a sharp hiss, a faint glow shimmering across her dark-silver carapace, clearly also affected by the impact. However, as an alien life form known for her mental resilience and adaptability, her resistance was more composed than Lin Feng's. Yet, in her cold compound eyes, killing intent almost solidified.

"Go!"

Lin Feng wasted no words; time was everything!

The power of rules within him completely boiled, and his figure blurred into an afterimage in the void, aiming directly for the Brood Mother's worm-like head!

It wasn't that he didn't want to directly attack the pulsating giant Brood Nest, but the head, covered with thick, dark-silver bone plates, was the only window through which he could directly attack the Brood Mother's "consciousness"!

Only by severely damaging its consciousness could he interrupt its awakening process, and even potentially trigger an internal energy runaway!

The moment Lin Feng moved, dozens of elite Zerg guards surrounding the Brood Mother also moved!

They didn't charge mindlessly but displayed astonishing tactical coordination.

Four "Fortress Guardians," resembling mobile bone-spiked fortresses, instantly blocked the front of the Brood Mother's head. Their thick, heavily spiked carapaces layered one upon another, forming an impenetrable bone wall, with energy shields flickering in the gaps of their carapaces.

At the same time, three "Void Stalkers" with multiple pairs of energy-bladed wings vanished from their positions like ghosts. They weren't invisible but used spatial folds for ultra-high-speed short-range warps, attacking Lin Feng simultaneously from his flanks and overhead with air-tearing shrieks!

Their high-frequency vibrating energy-bladed wings could easily cut through battleship armor!

Further away, several "Shadow Weavers," seemingly composed of pure energy, hovered in mid-air. They had no physical bodies, surrounded by distorted light, and their giant energy compound eyes locked onto Lin Feng and the Alien Queen.

Invisible energy fields, carrying strong slowing and disintegrating effects, enveloped the two like spiderwebs, attempting to interfere with their movements and weaken their energy!

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with cold light.

Facing this encirclement, which could instantly annihilate ordinary Transcendent beings, he not only did not slow down but instead accelerated even further!

Under extreme exertion, the power of rules formed a nearly solid, star-shimmering armor on his body.

"Break!"

He pointed his fingers like a sword, fiercely striking at the bone-spiked fortress blocking his path!

It was no longer the condensed psionic beam he used against the Golden Zerg, but a spiral qi current condensed to the extreme, containing the dual powers of "sharpness" and "penetration"!

The qi current was deep purple, as if stars were born and died within it, and it struck the bone wall with a harsh tearing sound!

Screech—!

A teeth-grinding metallic friction sound echoed through the cavity!

The thick bone armor and energy shields, capable of withstanding naval cannon bombardment, were torn apart like a hot knife through butter under the impact of the power of rules!

The power of rules, with undiminished momentum, instantly pierced through the core of the Fortress Guardian standing at the very front!

The massive body suddenly stiffened, a blinding purple light exploded from its core, and then it disintegrated with a roar, turning into a sky full of burning bone fragments!

Lin Feng's figure did not stop, passing through the broken gap!

But at this moment, the Void Stalkers' attacks also arrived!

Three space-tearing energy-bladed wings, carrying the cold light of death, struck at his neck, waist, and legs respectively!

The angles were cunning, and the timing was precise!

Just at this critical moment, a dark-silver lightning bolt arrived from behind!

It was the Alien Queen!

She abandoned dodging the Shadow Weavers' slowing field, choosing the most direct and violent method!

Her figure twisted and folded strangely in the air, avoiding the pincer attack of two bladed wings at an incredible angle. At the same time, her deadly bone tail, like a poisonous spear piercing through the void, accurately stabbed towards the energy core of the third Stalker with a sonic boom!

Pffft!

The bone tail penetrated the seemingly illusory energy body without hindrance, accurately piercing into its core!

The Stalker let out a piercing, non-biological shriek, its body instantly solidifying from illusion, then exploding like a punctured balloon!

Violent energy turbulence swept all around.

The price the Queen paid was being grazed by the edge of a slowing field, her movements instantly slowing by half a beat.

A Stalker's bladed wing grazed her shoulder blade, a streak of dazzling sparks erupted on her dark-silver carapace, leaving a deep scorch mark!

She let out a low, pained hiss, but her movements did not stop at all. Her bone tail retracted like lightning, and she lunged at another target again!

Lin Feng gained this precious moment of respite!

He ignored the energy turbulence that brushed past him, as the power of rules furiously compressed and condensed in his palm, forming a constantly collapsing, dark-purple energy sphere radiating destructive fluctuations.

"Void Collapse Bomb"!

"Open up for me!"

He roared, fiercely smashing this energy sphere, containing terrifying power of rules, towards the Brood Mother's head, which had just lifted and was slightly agape!

The target was precisely that abyssal maw!

At the same time, in the real world, the battles in all the invaded base cities of Longguo had entered their most tragic stage!

As required by the supreme directive, all available Transcendent combat power had been thrown into the battlefield!

Figures radiating powerful auras charged through the beast tide and insect sea, each strike clearing large areas and significantly relieving pressure on the defense lines.

But the number of demon beasts and Zerg was simply too many, and they continuously poured out of the spatial rifts, seemingly endless!

The soldiers of the City Defense Force and Professional Association, these combat professionals whose average level was only Silver or even Bronze, now became a true wall of flesh and blood!

They relied on the broken fortifications and collapsed ruins, using their flesh and blood to block the tide of enemies.

"Hold steady! For Weiyang! For our families!"

A City Defense Force squad leader, his face covered in blood, roared. The barrel of his energy rifle was already red, and each shot was accompanied by a metallic wail.

His comrades fell one after another, torn apart by pouncing Razor Wolves, corroded by the acid of Void Sapper Bugs.

"Captain! We're almost out of ammo!"

A young soldier's voice was tearful. His arm was pierced by a Venom Scorpion's tail hook, gushing blood.

"Then use your knives! Use your teeth! Fill it with your lives!"

The squad leader's eyes were bloodshot. He abruptly drew the alloy combat knife from his waist.

"Brothers! There's no retreat! Behind us is the underground fortress! Inside are our parents, wives, and children! Kill—!"

"Kill!!!"
